Yeah, that was hilarious, nice try. The problem with the "blame the horse" mentality of these cowards is 3 fold: 1.) Government's 1st job is to protect its citizens, not to outsource and blame. 2.) The local gov't coordinated with FEMA years before, just before, and after the hurricane. Further, Mr. Bush was supposed to have done a complete review of homeland security. If there were holes, he should've found them. 3.) There was a plan endorsed, coordinated, and managed by FEMA. It worked until it was stressed by communications failures. At that point the entire thing fell apart. There will be others that will try to deny responsibility and accountability, but the blame lies solely with FEMA and, therefore, the President. If he had character he would step up and accept responsibility with a "the buck stops here and I failed" speech. Then he would ask for an independent commission to investigate the problems and come up with solutions which he would pre-accept. But he doesn't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=17 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:173087 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
